Connect to SAP Destination Servers for Indirect Extraction

Servers connect to a hub using an SAP destination. On the hub, an ABAP function extracts data from other servers using an SAP destination defined on the hub itself.
An SAP destination must be defined for each server on each hub, so that the server s performance data can be extracted by the hub. To define an SAP destination, complete the following steps:
  1. Issue transaction SM59 from SAP, and then provide the following:
    • For the RFC destination, specify system-id_hostname (for example, SI9_ENDAPP09).
    • For connection type, enter 3.
    • For description, enter Connection to SI9 on appserver.pc.domain.com.
  2. In the Technical Settings section, verify the following settings and information:
    • Do not allow load distribution.
    • A host name or IP address of the SAP server is specified.
  3. In the Logon and Security sections, provide a user ID and password for non-trusted systems to run code on the target SAP system.
  4. In the Special Options section, complete the following steps:
    • Set the Unicode flag based on the setting of the target SAP server.
    • Review all other settings and make sure that they meet the local site s standards.
